Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel was in a convenient location, ideal for exploring the town center and nearby shops, but it was very loud at night affecting our sleep quality. The rooms needed an upgrade to modern standards and were uncomfortably bright due to poor sealing of windows and gaps in the door. While the dining experience left much to be desired with cold breakfast options and minimal staff presence, the service was a mix of friendliness and rudeness. Overall, the value for money was lacking, especially considering the uncomfortable stay.
The hotel is centrally located and convenient for exploring the town. The rooms lacked proper amenities, and the cleanliness was subpar. The service was average, with some attempts to compensate for shortcomings. The dining experience left much to be desired, with food quality concerns and limited options. On the positive side, the location is ideal for shopping and entertainment, but overall, the facilities were disappointing.
The hotel is in a convenient location for exploring Northampton and close to shopping centers. The rooms vary in temperature due to issues with heating and cooling, and they are quite small. The service is friendly overall but could use improvements in maintaining the property. Dining experiences fluctuate from disappointing to good, but fresh products are offered. The location is ideal for exploring and dining out, with some nice amenities nearby.
